The Responsive Body: A Language of Contemporary Dance

Choreographer, teacher and artistic producer of the Canada Dance Festival Brian Webb encourages everyone in the dance community to speak about dance and the dance experience in this bilingual offering of eight essays on contemporary dance in Canada. "There is a real need for better dance literacy both within the dance community and the broader community," he says. "With these books we hope to provide a context for the reading and appreciation of contemporary dance in contemporary society."
